Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This is a capstone subject focused on private law remedies the doctrines governing the orders a court may make to remedy a breach of legal duty. Students will have touched on remedies in almost every other core subject in the law degree. This subject consolidates and builds upon that existing knowledge and gives students an opportunity to draw together the disparate threads of the law degree and to compare the various outcomes possible across different doctrines and areas of law. The subject is taught in three modules Coercive Remedies (particularly injunctions and specific performance), Common Law Compensatory Remedies (focusing Contract and Tort damages) and Equitable and statutory Compensatory and Restitution ARY Remedies.
